Default Steering Rack Electrical Plug

I just put my steering rack back in and can't figure out where the electrical plug on the rack plugs back into. Where is the plug on the harness? Here is a pic of the 2 prong plug in the middle, sitting on top of the rack:



And better yet...does anyone have a diagram of all the plugs? Most of them have been pretty easy to figure out.

Thanks!

Greg,

Here are a few photo's I took. I clips to the metal line. I think the connector is in the same harness as the fans if I remember correctly. If you can't find it, I will go crawl under the car as it is up on block for heads right now.

Vettenuts - that's exactly what I needed to see. The plug is on the fan section of the harness. Thanks for the pics!

That looks like a Magnasteer plug.

Sorry, what is a Magnasteer? A replacement rack?

No, it's the PCM-controlled power assist (or de-assist above a certain speed) to give you easy steering in a parking lot but heavier steering while rolling down the 405 at 135 MPH.
